Orofacial Cleft Frequency Differences Depending on Geographic Origin: Coast vs. Inland

Abstract: Objective: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital anomaly in a human face, with a multifactorial and complex etiology. Although many studies have been developed, the role of the environment is still unclear. This study aims to test the hypothesis that differences in lifestyle and environment change the reproductive risks of orofacial clefts.Methods: A total of 2,422 medical records of individuals born with cleft lip and/or palate in a reference center in the northeast of Brazil over a period of … Show more

“… 26 This discrepancy in phenotype may be attributable to the multiple causes of NS CL/P, as well as the effects of maternal folate consumption during pregnancy on embryogenesis and fetal phenotype regulation due to epigenetic mechanisms. 27 28 With The advanced technology in molecular biology such as next-generation sequencing for trio analysis (child, mother, and father) probably can explain the inherited recessive alleles. Therefore, further study to analyze possible pathogenic variants in CLP cases is warranted.…”
